Armstrong Clark Stain 5 Gallon

Armstrong-Clark's deck and siding wood stain makes use of conditioning oils that part from the drying oils in the formula. The nondrying oils penetrate into the wood and take the place of the wood's diminishing natural oils. This process revives and restores wood.

The drying oils stay on the wood surface and lock in the conditioning oils to produce a barrier that is dry to the touch. Armstrong's deck and siding wood stain contain vegetable oils in addition to transparent pigments, solvents, mildewcides and water repellents.

Application can be done in direct sunlight and on hot days. If the first coat of stain penetrates within 30 minutes an additional coat may be applied for extra protection.

Applies easily by roller, brush, garden sprayer or airless sprayer. During spraying - going back over with a brush or roller will help give a more even appearance. After 24 hours any remaining puddles or glossy spots can be removed using a dry rag.

Older wood is reconditioned by deep penetrating nondrying oils.

Drying oils lock in the conditioning oils while pigments and water repellents lock out moisture and UV damage.

*We do not guarantee stain colors as they will vary widely depending on the wood type, age of wood, prepping of wood, and application. Small samples are available at top.

I don't write product reviews. However, this stain is too good not to write one. We replaced our 34 year old deck floorboards last summer. During the past year, we researched deck stains and discovered that oil-based stains are becoming harder to find, which led us to Armstrong Clark. First of all, the option of buying samples is genius, as I would have chosen the wrong color without samples to test. After prepping the deck with the cleaner and brightener, the first difference I noticed from 34 years ago was that you no longer have to spend fifteen minutes trying to stir the thick sludge from the bottom of the can into a usable product. The Armstrong Clark stain was so easy to stir! The semi-transparent stain then went on evenly, was absorbed quickly, and dried to a rich, beautiful color. I love this stain! It has just recently been applied, so I can't write about its longevity yet, but this is a high quality product, and I am confident it will perform as described. We are thrilled with the way our deck looks, and will not hesitate to recommend it to others. A dreaded chore became a joy!

WHEN APPLYING THE AMBER COLOR WILL THE COLOR BE CONSISTENT ON A DECK WHEN ROLLED ON?HOW MUCH OIL IS IN THIS STAIN?MY DECK IS IN THE SUN MORE THAN 1/2 DAY- HOW LONG WILL YOUR STAIN LAST ON A PRESSURE TREATED PINE SURFACE?

We do not have a dealer there but we can ship to you. Best to apply with an exterior stain pad or brush for uniform application. 2-3 years is normal.

I bought 5 gallons of woodland brown last year an was a little disappointed in the redness of the colour. I got one small deck finished and had a bear overturn the can and lost the remainder. Need to reorder but wonder if any of the other colours would end up looking more like the sample of woodland on the website. And can I recoat the woodland with a different colour. Really like the product. We had a wicked winter and it looks as good as new! Thanks, Mike oster

To change colors, it wold be best to strip and brighten the wood. The Woodland Brown is a reddish color with a hint of brown. In the semi-solids there is not a medium brown color. Oxford is a dark brown and Sequoia is a rich red/brown. We do have samples on the site for you to test colors. The link is in the main menu.

We are going to use a RAD kit this afternoon and hope to follow with AC stain this weekend. I just swept the deck to begin with the prep process. When finished, I turned to see some leaves already fallen on my clean deck. We have a Butternut dropping leaves prematurely.

What will happen when they fall on my wet, newly applied AC stain? Am I better off waiting for spring? Thanks!

Hello. I would like to use Armstrong Clark deck stain on my deck. I am considering purchasing a Graco TrueCoat Pro II Airless paint sprayer for the job. My concern is that the sprayer manufacturer states that it is unsafe to use the sprayer with products that are marked FLAMMABLE. Would Armstrong Clark deck stain be compatible with this sprayer? Thanks!

I paint my fence every 2 years with oil based products. I usually add 12oz. Of linseed oil to any paint I apply for addition protection. Is this something you would see as beneficial to your product if used?

Hello, you cannot apply the AC over a paint of a different brand without removing it first. In addition there is no need to add linseed oil. The AC will penetrate very deeply as long as the wood is prepped correctly.
